|
In selecting the right size cupola for your building, a good rule of thumb is one inch of cupola base for every foot of unbroken roof line. The key idea here is the unbroken roof line measurement.
For example: if a roof section measures 20 feet, the minimum cupola base should be 20 inches. However, we usually suggest the next size larger. Our experience tells us it provides for a more pleasing appearance. If the cupola is too small, it will look like a bird house. Conversely, if it is too large, it will seem to overpower your home. A quick and easy way to visualize what is best for you is to position a cardboard box of similar size to the recommended cupola on your roof and then view it from the ground. We suggest a walk around the house and viewing it from various angles. All of our cupolas are "weathervane ready". They do not require a roof mount or any additional hardware. You will only need a hand saw and screwdriver! Complete, easy step-by-step instructions are included. |
